Enough of this holiday vacation, back to posting. :)
I usually work on Thursday, but with Thursday being Thanksgiving here, I needed to work a different day. So, for some reason I thought it was a good idea to work on Wednesday and end my work day so that I would head home right about 3pm. It should come as no surprise that I found myself stuck in the densest traffic jam I have seen in ages! I confess I have a rather dark opinion of traffic jams due to impending holidays. I think of them as being filled with bad-tempered, impatient drivers, with honking and blocking and all that. It is the ironic picture of people shaking fists at each other and yelling obscenities on the way to enjoy a relaxing holiday weekend.
I am most pleased to say that while crowded and slow, it was very possibly the most mellow, relaxed, and polite traffic I have ever been in! For example, I put on my turn-signal, and was let over promptly, not once, but all *six* of my lane changes on the freeway portion of my commute! It was lovely. If we have to be stuck in traffic together, it is so much nicer to be kind to one another.
Thanks to all the other drivers! I hope you arrived home safely and enjoyed a long weekend with your favorite people.
